Powering-up the Rack-Mount CP 3100
To power-up the rack-mount CP 3100:
1.
Re-attach the computer's AC power cord, then turn on the computer.
2.
Attach the power cord securely to the power connector on the CP 3100 (see Figure 20 on
page 41).
3.
Set the Power switch on the back panel to the ON position. Facing the back of the CP 3100,
the Power button is located to the right of the power connector (see Figure 19 on page 37).
4.
Wait 2 minutes (up to 5 minutes on first use) for the drive to initialize, then turn on the host.
When the CP 3100 is started for the first time, the following events should occur:
•
The CP 3100 boots and turns on four LEDS, one at a time, from bottom to top; then it turns off
the four LEDs in the same way. All LEDs will be off for a short period of time. When the
CP 3100 boots successfully, the topmost LED turns on.
•
If the integrated hard disk has not been initialized, the CP 3100 prepares the disk for use. This
can take from 3 to 5 minutes.
•
The CP 3100 loads the current configuration settings, initializes the network interface, starts
the device emulation, and activates its RemoteAdmin management tool.
•
The System LED turns solid green.
